Tipperrary Conversion.On Thursday last, the 2d inst., the
lady of David Ferguson, Esq., Nelson street, Tipperary, was recieved into the
Catholic church at her own house, by the Rev. Thomas McDonnell, O. P., of the
Dominican convent in this city. Mrs. Ferguson is daughter of the late John
Fitzgerald, Esq., of Limerick, solicitor; and though 17 years married, no
suggestion was ever made, nor influence exercised by her husband, during that
period with a view to induce her to change her religion. The greatest conjugal
affection existed at all times between them. Her becoming a Catholic now has
been quite a voluntary act of her own, after a long and mature consideration.
The piety and religious ecstacy of this lady during her profession of faith and
reception into the church was edifying beyond expression. Mrs. F. is mother of
nine children, and a most amiable lady, and her husband is brother of John
Ferguson, solicitor, Gardiner street, Dublinand also of the Rev. Charles
Ferguson, O.S. J.Limerick Reporter[David FERGUSON m. Catherine
